Chapter 897 The Last Shot
After countless hardships and immense sacrifices, Ye Shaohong finally got his chance to change history.
kill!
If he can kill Wang Jingwei today, he can completely change history.
Without Wang Jingwei, a traitor with immense prestige within China, the later puppet Nationalist government would not have been established.
The war of resistance would not have dragged on for eight years.
Why would Ye Shaohong have such an idea?
Very simple.
From December 1941, when the Japanese launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, their strategic focus had already shifted from China to Southeast Asia.
The shift in strategic focus is bound to have a significant impact.
The most striking example is the shift in focus regarding personnel and the economy.
From the moment the Japanese opened a second front in Southeast Asia and formed the Southern Army, they had already been drawing elite personnel from within China to the southern front.
Prepare for a colonial struggle with the United States.
It is precisely for this reason that the casualty ratio on the domestic battlefield decreased rapidly after 1941.
The ratio of 7 to 1 at the Battle of Shanghai rapidly decreased to 3 to 1.
The reason for this is that the Japanese have shifted their strategic focus, drawing away too many of their elite troops from China.
This rendered the Japanese North China and Central China Expeditionary Armies incapable of launching large-scale operations as they had in the early stages of the war, and also unable to control the vast occupied territories.
This led to the rise of civilian anti-Japanese armed forces in vast areas of Northeast and North China in later generations.
There were signs of a nationwide resistance against Japan.
However, this outcome changed somewhat due to the appearance of Wang Ni.
After the establishment of the puppet National Government led by Wang Jingwei, they recruited and absorbed many Nationalist government officers and generals who lacked firm resolve.
They formed the so-called "Peace Army".
These peacekeeping forces are indeed not very effective in combat, but they have a large number of members.
There are a total of over 600,000 people.
In addition to their daily duties of maintaining local security, they also participated in the direct conflict between the Japanese and the Nationalist government.
It caused considerable harm to the main battlefield.
This also provided considerable assistance to the Japanese. And that's not all.
After the establishment of the puppet National Government, the Japanese also handed over economic control of the vast occupied areas to the traitor Wang Jingwei.
They let Wang Ni represent them in reaping the wealth of the people.
Gather provisions.
After 1942, more than half of the military expenditure of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army was not drawn from the Japanese mainland.
Rather, it was the puppet Nationalist government, represented by Wang Jingwei, that plundered the wealth of the people and used it as tribute to the past.
You can imagine.
If Wang Jingwei were to die, the Japanese would lose his highly respected representative and be unable to establish a puppet Nationalist government according to normal history. What a huge loss that would be for the Japanese!
How much help would it provide to the War of Resistance?
It is precisely for this reason that Ye Shaohong is determined to kill Wang Ni at all costs this time. Because Wang Ni alone has caused too much damage to China.
It's simply unimaginable.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, Ye Shaohong can hardly hide his excitement.
He suddenly grabbed the car door handle.
Pull hard on the car door.
And what about Wang Ni inside the car? He was clearly aware of the danger, and even though he was terrified, he still hurriedly turned around and grabbed the car door.
They began to compete with Ye Shaohong.
"Hold!"
After several attempts to open the car door, Ye Shaohong was still unable to do so, which angered him.
His bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly.
Ye Shaohong suddenly released the car door handle and reached behind his waist to take out the Browning M1910 pistol he always carried.
With the gun pointed at Wang Ni inside the car, Ye Shaohong fired without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Several gunshots rang out in succession, and the glass window separating the two people shattered. Wang Ni, who was hiding inside the car, also let out painful howls and screams.
He had been shot.
Crimson blood flowed from the spot where he was shot.
Wang Ni was completely desperate.
He seemed to sense the approach of death, screaming and desperately trying to escape while crying and begging for mercy.
"No...don't kill me..."
"Don't……."
There were no inducements or threats.
Was it that Wang Ni couldn't think of these things? No.
Rather, it was because, under such circumstances, Wang Ni was already in a state of extreme fear, and he simply didn't have the mind to put together the kind of seductive words that appear in novels and TV dramas.
Only one thought remained in Wang Ni's mind.
That's living.
Ye Shaohong, however, was different.
At this moment, Ye Shaohong had only one belief in his mind.
Kill the enemy.
Kill this scourge before us.
He took action.
Having broken through the window, Ye Shaohong moved the gun barrel and aimed it at Wang Ni's forehead.
They prepared to use the Mozambican shooting method to completely extinguish Wang Jingwei's will, leaving him beyond saving.
such a pity.
In that brief moment of delay, a gunshot rang out, and Ye Shaohong's body swayed and staggered.
Ye Shaohong fired the shot.
But he missed Wang Ni's vital points.
Why is this happening?
Because just a moment before, another group of people appeared outside the chaotic street.
They joined the battle with abundant fighting power.
Someone fired a shot.
The shot hit Ye Shaohong's arm, causing him to miss the opportunity to kill Wang Ni.
The emergence of this new force also inflicted significant damage on the Military Intelligence Bureau's assassination squad, causing the tense battle to begin to turn against us. "Seventh Brother!"
The scene of Ye Shaohong being shot and falling to the ground was also witnessed by members of the Military Intelligence Bureau's assassination squad.
People started shouting angrily.
Some people rushed forward frantically, trying to rescue Ye Shaohong, who had been shot.
Among these people were Li Yunlong and Wang Tianmu, who naturally knew that Wang Jingwei was not dead yet.
But in their hearts, Ye Shaohong was more important.
The two of them charged toward the direction where Ye Shaohong had fallen, as if they had gone mad.
Ye Shaohong was also enduring the pain, intending to stand up again and deliver a fatal blow to Wang Ni.
But there's not enough time.
With the help of that mysterious new force, Wang Ni's guards and bodyguards were also inspired with renewed fighting spirit.
They began to relentlessly engage with members of the Military Intelligence Bureau's assassination squad.
The surviving members of the Military Intelligence Bureau's assassination squad are suffering increasing casualties, and it seems they are on the verge of being overwhelmed.
At this moment, Ye Shaohong stood up again.
Holding a Browning M1910 pistol, he laboriously moved to the side of Wang Ni's car, about to fire again, when he suddenly saw that Wang Ni had also acquired a musket.
He was staring fiercely at Ye Shaohong.
"Die!"
With a roar, Ye Shaohong and Wang Ni fired their guns simultaneously.
Then, they both fell backward at the same time...
